Knowing the signs is important. Having the courage to communicate what youāre experiencing is just as important.
If something doesnāt feel right after a hit, collision, fall, or other impact, use your voice. Tell a parent, coach, athletic trainer, healthcare professional, supervisor, caregiver, or someone you trust. Donāt assume you have to figure it out alone.
And donāt stop with yourself.
Pay attention to the people around you. A teammate may seem confused after a play. A coworker may not seem like themselves after a fall. A parent or grandparent may be struggling after hitting their head. Sometimes another person notices the change first.
Thatās why our message is:
USE YOUR VOICE.
LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.
For athletes, honesty doesnāt make you less competitive. Caring about a teammate doesnāt make your team less tough.
Communication, trust, and compassion make teams stronger. The same principle belongs in our homes, schools, workplaces, military communities, first-responder families, and neighborhoods.
Ask the question.
āAre you okay?ā Then take the time to listen to the answer. If a concussion is suspected, stop the activity and seek evaluation from an appropriate healthcare professional. If there are emergency warning signs or symptoms are rapidly worsening, seek emergency medical care.
